Einen Beitrag zum Thema Browser zu veröffentlichen, ist mindestens genauso anstrengend wie zum Thema Messenger. Inhaltlich setzt man sich kaum mit den Aussagen und Erklärungen auseinander, sondern Stammtischparolen ersetzen dann eine ernsthafte Diskussion. Auf diesem Niveau möchte ich wirklich nicht diskutieren.
This means, among other things, that uBlock Origin is about to be disabled in Chrome. Google will choose a different extension to recommend but it can not be as effective as #uBlock Origin.
Following #Google's example, may I instead recommend you switch to #Firefox.
Firefox will continue to support Manifest v2, and consequently uBlock Origin and other extensions that can not be implemented with Manifest v3.
Well, let's just say it's a small price to pay for the unclogging of the previous 200+ held back packages. Good thing we have https://snapshot.debian.org/ to "roll back" a little!
It's amazing to me that #chromium devs (who are literally nameless, as their new bug tracking system hides their names/email address) decided that wayland breakage is not any kind of high priority blocker for a stable release. https://crbug.com/329678163
[some context for that second pic; that comment was made by a chromium developer on March 25th; it was clearly never marked as a blocker, and three weeks later on Apr 16th chromium v124 was marked 'stable'.]
pd...@chromium.org #15 Mar 25, 2024 03:43PM +cc ui/base/wayland owners. Should this be marked as a release blocker?
I paid for a subscription. And they are now effectively blocking #Firefox, at least on #Linux. Every fetch requires me to "verify I'm a human" so none of the images or #javascript load. It works in #chromium (for now...?)
Assis sur sa position dominante Google Chrome n'évolue plus (ou pas dans le bon sens, voire la tentative de Manifest v3 pour les WebExtensions), alors que Firefox a progressivement regagné le terrain perdu et même consolidé de l'avance.
Ich nutze für einige Webseiten #Chromium. Eine Sache, die mir dort gefällt, ist der leichte Wechsel zwischen Profilen. Beim #Firefox muss das immer über den Aufruf firefox -P und Auswahl des Profils passieren. Nutzt ihr Profile im Firefox? Wie wechselt ihr zwischen den Profilen?
I think it’s a bit weird to be drawing comparisons between #Safari and #InternetExplorer. Safari doesn’t and likely will never have the web browser market share and thus complete dominance that IE had. Its market share is tiny in comparison. A better comparison would be the #Chrome browser and the engine itself built on (yes it’s important to include the engine too) and you’ll see that Google’s dominance is more far reaching than Safari on iOS and is probably on the same level as IE back in the day at this point.
The “browser choice” warriors love to focus on iOS and ignore the bigger issue of the dominance of the #Chromium engine in the wider web browser market. All it’s doing is handing the keys of the web over to Google.
Attention #Debian Sid users: latest #chromium package (v. 123.0.6312.58-1) update is broken. Lots of pages crashing, some load fine for a minute or so, then freeze. Impossible to work on O365 on it. Holding on to your current version is highly advised (until at least this passes!)
PSA to everyone to not use brave browser @brave, the CEO of Brave Software is bigoted (donated to anti-lgbtqia+ organizations trying to ban gay marriage in the past and still has never addressed it or apologized) and was also against the Covid Lockdowns and is anti-vax. Using brave browser contributes to oppression of LGBTQIA+ ppl and contributes to brave software financially through ads and other means.
I recommend anyone still using brave browser to switch to ungoogled-chromium as a non-bigoted degoogled chromium-based browser alternative. @floccus is a good browser extension to use on ungoogled-chromium to sync your bookmarks.
Why didn't I see anyone talking about #Chromium adding (in GUI) support for configuring/disabling JavaScript JIT and WebAssembly in 122? Seems like a killer security feature.
"Websites utilizing Web Monetization can grant immediate access to premium content when a user agrees to the terms without requiring upfront payment. After viewing a paid video, the browser automatically processes a micropayment transaction without interrupting the user’s experience."
A reminder that #CSSnesting is still a working draft in the #W3C under the #CSSWG. Please mind #webcompat when using this relatively new feature. IOW, don't make your #CSS break because you assumed everyone right now is using the latest version of #Chrome / #Chromium, #Firefox, #Safari, or #Edge. They might not even be using a mainstream #browser to visit your website (I am using #PaleMoon for example)... :seija_coffee:
Since #privacy online became a broader concern, #BigTech companies now attempt to appear privacy-oriented while just changing the way they spy on their users.
Such is the case with #Google disabling third-party cookies in #Chrome and developing technologies such as #FLoC or #Topics, both of which we've opposed from the very beginning.
Yes, our browser is based on #Chromium, but we do a lot of modifications to the code and take special measures to always protect our users and their privacy.
Google admits Chrome Incognito mode tracks users — what you need to know
"For those that are fed up with #Chrome and are looking for a more privacy-focused alternative, you might want to consider #Brave or, if you have the technical know-how, #Tor."
Can confirm. Brave is significantly more privacy-focused than any of the other #Chromium alternatives.
